For interested teens
This is a virtual service event for youth in grades 8-12 to join with other young people to learn the truth about hunger, poverty, and injustice and then do something about it! The event is entirely online.
Saturday, February 20 12PM to 2PM Zoom Sunday, February 21 4PM to 6PM Zoom While this event is virtual, participants are challenged to fast in some way:
- Drink only water and juice (no food) for 30 hours.
